She completed her initial four year training in 1999 and has had a private practice in Cape Coral ever since.


Acupuncture has been around for over 5,000 years with wonderful results. Studies have shown acupuncture to reduce and eliminate pain without side effects.

Hi, I'm Julie Fulkerson.

Julie has integrated therapeutic massage and Reiki to achieve body, mind, spirit healing.


Living in Southwest Florida since 1988, she has found her passion and purpose in healing others and is proud to be part of The Center for Natural Healing.


She is trained in multiple massage modalities which include, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Lymphatic Drainage, Polarity Therapy and Reflexology.


Reiki has taught Julie how to use universal energy to connect with others. This allows for healing on a deeper level, turning negative energy into positive. This enhances healing physically, emotionally and mentally for overall well-being.
